Blind Carbon Copies

When you send the same e-mail out to 2 or more people you should send it so all the e-mails are kept private.  You don't want person 1 to be able to see the e-mail address of person 2 unless person 1 knows person 2 in which case person 1's knowledge of person 2's address would have no bearing on the issue of you letting person 2 gain access to the e-mail account of person 1.

1. Log into your e-mail using Internet Explorer.

2. Click New E-Mail Message.  Most computers will say compose. 

3. Fill in the To Box with your e-mail address.  This address will be seen by everyone. 

4. The BCC option is not showing on my computer yet.  I need to click Show BCC. 

5. I place everybody's e-mail in the BCC box. 

6. When you are done typing the message click send.
